2011 is just about over…and now we have a whole new year to plan!
It’s exciting to think about every January as a “do-over.” This is the opportunity to do all the things you wanted to do last year but didn’t quite get around to doing them. It’s a time to plan goals, vacations, and house repairs.
If you make New Year’s resolutions, of course this is the weekend to make them. I always just have plans and goals throughout the year so promising myself something in January just doesn’t fit my structure.
But some traditions I do uphold. I make sure to have my black-eyed peas on January 1. Now I realize that black-eyed peas are not traditional all over the United States. I found out last year it must just be a regional thing. So it does make me curious as to the must-have/must-do traditions for you.
If black-eyed peas aren’t the “good luck food” for your area, what is?
